What I Got - Phillies Remix

Early in the morning, Orange Line down Broad StreetTailgate time at Jetro then I’ll watch my Phils get beatGot to find a reason, a reason things went wrongGot to find a reason why their lead is all goneI got my Burrell jersey, and I drink the High LifeI can grill a burger like a mother f&@#!n' riot

Season’s too short, need to win the games they gotCuz the Mets might lose but the Braves might notAlways bloggin’ static, it’s how I get it off my chestMay have lost the Phield but my mom thinks we’re the bestTake a small example, take a tip from Rich DubeeTake all of your prospects, trade them all for Clifton Lee

Losin’s what I got, with no help from stealin’ signsYeah, and the Phils winnin’ style's on a straight declineIt all comes back to Rube, he’s gonna get what he deserveCan’t touch that, like Howard and a curveLosin’s what we got, don't start a fightThe Mets are not in town tonight

Losin' is what I got, I said remember thatLosin' is what I got, I remember thatLosin' is what I got, I said remember thatLosin' is what I got

I don't cry when groundballs aren’t caughtI don't get angry when Werth strikes out alotI don't get angry when Lidge blows a saveOr hearing Wheels’ voice on the radio waveStartin’, Relievin’, it's all the sameGetting drunk to watch the Phil’s the only way to stay saneLet the winnin’, let the winnin’ come back to me

'Cause losin' is what I got, I said remember thatLosin' is what I got, I remember thatLosin' is what I got, I said remember thatLosin' is what I got, I got, I got, I got

The offense isn't the only thing wrong with this team. There's a long list of problems.

Problems:1. Backend of bullpen- Lidge is a question mark, Madson is hurt, Baez hasn't been good, Romero is erratic, and Contreras is solid but unproven in that capacity.

2. Bench- Schneider, Gload, Francisco, and Dobbs have been bad...especially Dobbs. They offer no real threat as pinch hitters and aren't good spot starters either. Valdez and Castro have been mediocre, but whatever, their utility middle infielders.

3. Starting Pitching- Blanton and Kendrick leave much to be desired. Hamels isn't living up to his billing either.

4. Meat of the Lineup- Utley, Howard, Werth, and Ibanez have all stopped hitting. 3 of the 4 will turn it around, but I'm afraid we've seen the end of the productive days of Raul. His swing is long, slow, and powerless. Maybe if he popped some roids...I'm just sayin'.

5. Injuries- missing J-Roll and Polly atop the lineup is too much to overcome.

Way to spread the love B. I missed the first inning, but I wonder why Hudson came back after the delay but Hamels did not. Was he not hitting his spots early? I saw he threw 24-pitches in two thirds. Do you think the fightins shuffle their rotation to move up Hamels? Or maybe he'll be available in the pen since tomorrow's an off day and they used 6 from the bullpen yesterday.

Although they continued their losing ways, I heard some encouraging bat cracks over the airwaves. Howard, Werth and Ibanez all had hard outs and Chooch even had two hits.

Valdez chipped in to knocks too, but who he'll exit stage left soon enough. I don't think I'm grasping at straws when I say the bats may - emphasis on may - be coming around.

Any lineup with both Valdez and Castro in it will be anemic, but what choice does Charlie have?

F you Chase F'ing Utley!!!!How the Fuck do ground into a double play with the team struggling bases loaded 1 out and you ground into a double Fucking play!!! Fuck the phillies. fucking pussies I don't give a fuck whose hurt....hit the fucking ball you fucking pussies!!!!!!!!!!!!!Did I use the word fuck yet???And it would be great if Charlie could stop giving our regulars two days off every week while j-roll and polly are hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you know it is unfair and unwarrented, why say it? greg dobbs sucks his suckitude wouldn't be that big of a deal if the starter and multimillionaires were hitting even a little bit. how about we place the blame where it really belongs - chase utley, ryan howard, jayson werth, raul ibanez, shane victorino.

and it's time to put a little heat on charlie manuel, too. whenever they are hitting he gets a bunch of credit. it has to go both ways.

Time for Charlie to stop being a mixologist with the lineup and let them just settle back in. This still is a hell of an offense just going through a really really bad thing right now. That earned run given up by Contreras was only his 2nd all year.. and the two walks make either 4 or 5 in about 18 innings. Just thought I'd mention that before people start becoming reactionary.
